Abstract

Efficient chemical functionalization of hydrogen-terminated Si(1 1 1) with simple and bifunctional 1-alkenes was achieved via novel sonochemical activated hydrosilylation, utilizing just a simple ultrasonic bath. It is an extremely mild method that allows the specific attachment of unprotected bifunctional alkenes such as undecenol, undecylenic acid, and even a heat/UV-sensitive alkene, bearing an activated leaving group (N-succinimidyl undecylenate), without suffering any degradation.
